Phew! Over half way thru the summer holidays. How's everyone enjoying the summer hols' so far? We've not really done that much to be honest, the weather has been a little up and down. It's been looking like it wants to rain all day but now it's really sunny! Anyhoo, here are my reasons to be cheerful this week..

1) I got my new table & chairs and coffee table! Finally! Yay! My front room is almost complete! Just the rug to get once the kids are back in school. Yay! It's so nice to sit up at the table and eat as a family. I've really missed that!
2) We're going away for a few days to visit family up north. My friend is going to look after my house for me which is really nice of her. I am looking forward to seeing everyone up north and catching up. It'll also do us all good to get away! The kiddies are very excited, hehe.
3) I am hoping to get the kids school shoes tomorrow! That'll be a huge weight off my mind. Both Ellie and Harry have very wide feet (like me) and there toes are quite long, it's usually a mission to find a pair of shoes that fit perfectly. Hopefully we won't have a huge kurffule tomorrow. I'm relying on Clarkes (I hope they still have a sale on.) Plus, all three kiddies are half sizes. I can't believe Ellie is already an 11.5 shoe (Harry's a 3.5, just half a size smaller than me) and Charlie is a 13.5. Gosh, there feet grow so fast, lol.

And of course, tomorrow is Friday! Woo.

Me and my children love decorating biscuits! We either use digestives or rich tea biscuits for this. It's easy & fun. It's quite cheap as well (especially if you already have the decorations in the cupboard, hehe). The kids really enjoy decorating there own biscuits. (So do I, lol)

What we use:

• All kinds of sprinkles/hundreds and thousands, cupcake decorations, you can also use sweets or anything else that will stick to the biscuits)
• Digestive biscuits (or rich tea) 
• Icing pens. Or icing 

We decorated our digestives using the icing pens first (you can use icing if you prefer). Ellie decided she was going to write her name on her biscuit.

And then we added our decorations. The decorations stick really easy to the icing. Ellie liked the silver balls best :)
We sprinkled on lots of hundreds and thousands, sprinkles and sugar flowers. Yummy.

 I'm Sarah. I am twenty eight years old from Essex (and no, I don't have an accent like Amy Childs, lol). I am a SAHM to Harry (aged 9) Charlie (aged 8) and Ellie (aged 5). We have two kittys, Lotti and Lenni. 

I love spending time with my family, my children are my world, my life... my everything. We love doing arts and crafts, going on days out and being creative. We love movie days, watching family films and learning new things. 

I started blogging because I love to write. I wanted to share my life as mummy with the world, the every day ups and downs, smiles and frowns of our every day life. 

I am upfront and easy to get along with. What you see, is what you get. I am a kind, caring person & I enjoy making new friends. 

I blog about every day life, my opinions, photos  and I love to share my ideas. 

I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
